PHP runs most of the web — including WordPress. But if you don’t know what version you’re using (or why that even matters), you could be opening the door to serious security risks.

In this episode, Charly breaks down:

✅ What PHP is (without the jargon)

✅ Why keeping your PHP version up to date is critical

✅ What "end of life" and "end of support" mean — and why hackers love outdated code

✅ How to check and update your PHP version in cPanel (via PHP Manager) or similar tools

✅ When to ask your hosting provider or tech support for help

You don’t need to be a developer — but you do need to stay aware. Being a partner in your site’s security is smarter than being a passive consumer.
